摘要
A novel cuprate Volborthite, Cu3V2O7(OH)(2). 2H(2)O, containing an S-1/2 (Cu2+ spin) kagome-like lattice is studied by magnetic susceptibility, specific heat, and V-51 NMR measurements. Signs for neither long-range order nor spin-gapped singlet ground states are detected down to 1.8 X in spite of large antiferromagnetic couplings of similar to 100 K between Cu spins forming a two-dimensional kagome-like network. It is suggested that Volborthite represents a system close to a quantum critical point between classical long-range ordered and quantum disordered phases.
